We’re in for an early summer!

The weather in Santa Barbara has been truly amazing, it feels so much like summer. Although here, most of our summers consist of cloudy days and groggy weather, so this is definitely better than summer climate! A few friends and I recently headed over to the well-known, best of the best, Santa Claus Lane beach for a relaxing day of basking in the sun and devouring burgers by the shore. It was one of my best friends’ birthday, so we decided to spend the day rolling in the waves and taking advantage of this amazing weather. We started with homemade pancakes for breakfast, the best burgers at Padaro Beach Grill, and ended home for a scrumptious cake. Doesn’t that day sound exceptional? It was by far my favorite kind of day. Gosh I can’t wait for summer to come again!

I highly suggest going to Padaro Beach Grill for lunch, it’s just scrumptious! I ordered a ‘California Burger,’ which consisted of jack cheese, avocado, grilled onions, and grilled bell peppers as extra toppings. And don’t forget a side of sweet potato fries. Mmmm my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Anyways, definitely stop by there on your way to Santa Claus!

Birthday gal

Hello splendid followers!

I’m sorry I haven’t posted this last week, it was spring break and I have been on vacation (be looking for a post soon!) and adventuring with the pals. The week before I left, I did a “Crafty creations” post that included a few knick knacks I made for my friend’s birthday, which we celebrated the Friday before I left. It was a scrumptious dinner with such a pretty set up, and it was a great night with the gals.

Olivia is my girl friend’s name, and she did all of the decorating for the dinner herself. She had homemade bath salts in the neatest little bottles, and tie-dye hair ties that she made herself as well for each of us to take home. There were other crafty little trinkets around the tables that were homemade too; I just loved the whole thing. If you want a party designer…Olivia’s your girl.

My birthday is coming up in a couple months and I’d like to do something that lives up to this beauty…If you have any suggestions or inspiration for me let me know!

Below are just a few fun pictures from throughout the night. Enjoy!
